Rather than going out on a packed tourist ship
of other dolphin spotters, you can hire a kayak to get up close with the dolphins in the natural habitat of a marine reserve.
The vocal model also successfully mimicked whistling noises used to communicate
with other dolphins and faulty clicks that probably result from inadequate snot.
Unlike
most other dolphin species, Risso's are not avid bow - riders but they do exhibit impressive aerial displays.
The research team hypothesizes that some of the consistent click types revealed by the algorithm could be matched to
other dolphin species and therefore may be useful for remote monitoring of wild dolphins.
STILL POLLUTED Some of Europe's fragile populations of killer whales and
other dolphins still carry high concentrations of PCBs decades after the toxic substances were banned.
Such techniques could be adapted to study sound production or echolocation in sperm whales and
other dolphin relatives.
In January 2016, Dr Jepson and his colleagues published the study «PCB pollution continues to impact populations of orcas and
other dolphins in European waters» in Scientific Reports.
We are seeking answers regarding Bodie's illness and death and to determine the condition of

Using tools takes time and energy, Reader says, and animals tend to rely on them only when there's a guaranteed payoff, such as turning up a fatty fish that
most other dolphins (and fishermen) know nothing about.
One of the conching dolphins, which the researchers have named William the Concherer, has a different fatty acid profile to
other dolphins, suggesting the technique gives it access to a novel food source.
After discovering the electroreceptors in the deceased Guiana dolphin, the researchers then tested
the other dolphin, named Paco, to see if he would react to a weak electrical signal like that generated by small - to medium - sized fish, his natural prey.
By studying the skull and comparing it to those of
other dolphins, both living and extinct, Boersma determined that A. yakataga is a relative of the South Asian river dolphin Platanista, which is the sole surviving species of a once large and diverse group of dolphins.
The dolphins used signature whistles when meeting up with another group, Quick and Janik report online today in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B. What's more, they gave the distinctive whistle only if they actually mingled with
the other dolphins.
«These clever dolphins have figured out a way to target fish that
other dolphins can not,» she says, adding that even the local fishermen do not catch, or even know about, this particular species.
Lou Herman and
some other dolphin scientists quickly embraced the idea.
There are
other dolphins, Stenella species, that are offshore dolphins, and are smaller than Tursiops and are spotted.
